Having set limits would be nicer to set you back from your loss. Having a predetermined amount of funds for the month can give you a nicer look at your personal economic status. Yes, time can make you less aggravated for gambling for a specific amount of time, but still won't set you back to lose. Aside from that week's time out, you can try to do my 3 rounds pause rule after I lose for consecutive rounds. You can also take a bathroom break or smoke break, anything that can release your tension, and make your mind reset to normal will do.
Setting limitations will help us not run out of all funds that we use for playing gambling, especially if we can set the limits for a month. We don't have to break the limits that we made before, which can prevent us from using more money to gamble. But that will not work if you don't discipline yourself, especially if you lose all of that funds before the month is ending. I admit that if we lose some money in gambling, it could make us curious about the loss, and there is a chance for us to add more money to continue playing. But if we can take a break or stop for a while from gambling after we lose, it will help us reduce the tension in our minds and reset to normal.
For me setting limitation is good but still it is not enough, what gamblers should focus in the mastery of the art of discipline and also the art of risk management. Gambling can give us high rewards, but it can also give us huge losses especially if we just betting without conviction. The art of discipline that I'm talking about is conditioning ourselves that there is no sure profit or guarantee winning in gambling, all of the strategy and all of games have risks even though it can give high returns. When I do gambling, I really know that there are 4 possibilities which are winning big, winning small, losing small and losing big but I usually avoid losing big because it can affect my psychological capital that can cause for me to stress and made more wrong decision. Losing is normal as long as it is small but I do not consider it as normal if you are consistently losing in gambling. Those professionals gamblers are really discipline when they do gambling and it is the reason why they have high winning rate.
